Jacob's First Communion

Me... on the day of my first communion (taken in the early 70's at a local store where you sat on a rug covered table and they snapped your photo - the original is all shades of muddy red). Despite the low resolution photo, I do remember feeling happy in my first communion dress and veil. On my first communion day, my godparents gave me a little white mass booklet, which until last Wed., I kept in my jewelry box.

Last Wed. I met my godson and nephew, Jacob, at the same church where I made my first communion. Can it really be almost 40 years later?! Jacob is an amazing little boy in so many ways! He is loving, happy, smart, caring and competitive! I love him dearly and am honored to be his godmother. I know his first communion day will be special and I'll be there to support him.

Our little photo session was kind of a "spur of the moment" type of activity that just happened to turn out PERFECTLY!

I can't believe how grown up he looks in his suit and dress shoes! ...and yes, that little white mass book is now his. The pictures are a little outdated, but the content is still pretty much the same. I love how he posed with the little book in many of the photos! He knows just how to make an Aunt feel special and loved!
